22 Apr 2010Hi i know there was somewhere a post where we could post our challenge ideas but i couldn't found it anywhere so i thought i start a new one. (and the search says that the word" challenge" is too common
)
So the first "challenge" (omg pun!
) is to determine what kind of challenge it should be.
1.Modeling
2.Lighting/Mood
3.Animation
EDIT: I changed my mind and i will vote for Lighting too

26 Apr 2010Hehe nice Diemacht... okies, I am neither a modeler or lighter but I do have an opinion!
I think one of the reasons these challenges are difficult to get off the ground and get excited about is that they are very often too open. 'Make an airfield' would be an enormous undertaking in terms of making a 3D scene. There are certainly ways to approach such a challenge to make life easier for yourself and much more doable, but coming up with creative solutions to make it work would be challenge enough - such a broad canvas is potentially off-putting.
If you go for something that has an equal starting point for everyone, such as a room or environment to light then the focus is on one particular part of the production process - which is quite valuable experience for those that want to get into the industry or wish to focus or develop their skills in one particular area. I mean... even a model challenge would potentially be more valuable if people all worked to the same model or design sheet (because that's what'll be required of them in the real world)
IMHO any challenge should be much more of a joint learning exercise than about who can make a better model / render / animation etc. -
26 Apr 2010I really appreciate what you say Global!
and when i think about it you're right.
My mom always said "its not a problem to cook but the problem is to come up with stuff to cook without getting repetitive"
and if you know what to do it is much easier to focus on.
If you say :"the challenge is to do anything within this world!" most people will go nuts about what they should do (its like not knowing what you want to order if you go to a restaurant if they have too much to choose from)
limiting it to only one thing is the best in sake of a challenge. But were not there yet. First is to decide what kind of a challenge people want . 3 choices for now after this stage is done we will move on to the subject.
and for progress sake: I would say this Friday(European time ) we should have been decided what the challenge type is and until next Friday what the specific topic is. -

14 May 2010hey sorry guys im back.

16 May 2010somebody should make this a official challenge
http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/fre ... nce/432822
this is the model.
1. You can texture it but you dont have to.
2. you can add additional models but you dont have to.
3. The important aspect is to get a nice framing and a good lighting/mood. (that will be the main point in judging)
4. You should not change the scene too much (even if you texutre it and add some more details with new models to it. ie. it shouldn't turn into a amusement park ride or something. it should be taken for what it is and thats a subway entrance/exit, underpass or something similar.)
The challenge ends on June 6th 2010. (little bit more than 3 weeks should be suffice imo since its a mini challenge. ) -
17 May 2010Workshop has been started, folks
I made the deadline a month. Hope everyone can find time to participate! -
17 May 2010sounds fair
so come one people jump in and have some fun!! -
Jonathan 480 posts19 May 2010Maybe we can do another Maxscript workshop or challenge, or something? Still working on learning Maxscript, and it's going well.
